No Janet you can’t OWN running

[Janetsadick]

It’s not “your” hobby.

Nobody is stealing your thunder by taking up running.

If you faux roll your eyes and mention it again I’m going to throw a fucking stapler at your head

AIBU?

I'd start one myself PanPanPan but I'm not sure I'd get much response these days.

Actually, I own Radio 4, and Peru.

@quilliam she would still win. Despite having no children and working part time (probably 4 hours a week) doing the books for her husbands business. Oh sorry, forgot prancing around doing an iffy photography business selling prints of her 'work' - she has 3 ok, cheap hotel room art ones, the rest are

When DW and I mention being tired we simply have no idea what tired is....

Beryl you can't own Peru. I went there in 2014. Therefore it is mine and I'd be happy to tell you about it at great length. I was there for a week so I know EVERYTHING about it.

She could always claim Weasel Fighting? Bet no one in the office is doing Weasel Fighting?

I’ve been to Peru too

I own all of the good pubs, bars and restaurants within a 10 mile radius of my house.

I also own the best dog walks and dog friendly tea rooms.

Oh, and rescue dogs... they’re all mine.

Fucking Janet.

I know a Janet. She owns childbirth, all aspects of it, always - labour, epidurals, pain, oh the pain, the midwives, the Dr's, the food eaten during, the dh reactions, the owning seeing gorgeous bubs for the first time. Owns it all. Her children are a little older than mine (same number) so obviously she got there first and therefore my experience of childbirth is less Janet, more "meh". She also owns grief which broke my heart a little bit. My DH thinks my Janet is a bit of a cow. Maybe he's right.

My Janet owns Camp America, she did one summer there about 5 years ago & still wears her camp America branded hoody everyday . I must confess I don't even know her real name, she is simply known as Camp America Girl.

I must confess I don't even know her real name, she is simply known as Camp America Girl.

Janet, her real name is Janet.

Nquartz - her name is Janet, surely?

I saw that band that’s really big now before anyone had even heard of them! It was years ago at a really small intimate gig and it was amazing. If you see them now it wouldn’t be the same, they’re so mainstream now

Huh? What was the point

But what if your office MAKES you be the Janet?! In my office kitchen, if anyone heats up or eats a meal without meat in it in my presence, some other fucker says, "ooh, look Pample-Janet, there's another vegetarian, what do you say to that?!?!" Nothing, you drama-whores, I don't own not eating meat and I'm pescatarian anyway!! Grrrrrr....

I own Canada, has anyone else tried to claim it yet? If so fuck off Eh, Canada is mine!

Someone I know is a Janet. She thinks she owns prosecco and only she can drink it and only she has a prosecco hangover because apparently she has been drinking it since it was invented. She actually said to me that she thinks she discovered it in the supermarket tucked away at the back of the shelf before the "general public" knew what it was.

She is also an idiot-Janet.

Send her this for me will you @Biggreygoose ? I bet she's worn out from getting too much sleep at the weekends too. That's a real killer.

I own having two small children close in age. You have a 1 and 2 year old? That’s cute, I used to have those and now I have a 2 year old and a 3 year old, suck it. My parenting is far superior to yours as my children are so close in age that they were almost Irish twins and that makes me a super mother and I SHALL NOT BE QUESTIONED ON MY PARENTING METHODS AS WHAT I SAY IS LAW.

My grandmother owns dog-owning. No one owns dogs properly except for her. Everyone else is doing it wrong/abusively and she pities every dog that is not owned by her. You walk it when and for how long? No, that’s not right or enough. You feed it what pile of turds? No, no. Wrong. You leave it for how long? How dare you?! That’s abuse. She takes Janeting owning dogs to such a level she kindly asks you if she can “take them off your hands and rehome them” with her.

Ah, I’ve so enjoyed this thread. Classics!

OP, any news on today & your new running obsession? I hope you noticed this post by userlotsof numbers:

Someone like this made me so mad I actually signed up to a marathon in revenge. Then realised what I had done. I actually did it though!!

My Janet owns anything PTA related. Specifically how little appreciated the PTA are, whilst not wishing to change anything. I suspect every school has a Janet like this, so it’s a tenuous form of ownership - like a franchise, perhaps? Anyway, she runs a success PTA-moaning franchise.

My Janet owns going to see Hamilton. It's impossible to get tickets. Explained at great length. Then, when I got them, all the reasons I won't get it unless I ask Janet for advice.

I almost don't want to go!

@quilliam I so should.

She is very fond of saying, 'well just rest Sunday' or 'dont do much xday' when we point out that pe- mayb- haps getting home from visiting hers at 1am , with a 3 year-old might be a bit knackering and kinda take up the whole weekend.

DW and I are terrified that she will have kids. She would Janet the absolute fuck out of that.

FORGIVENESSISDIVINE

I can explain "darked on" if you can explain "Wendy": feeling left out and the curiosity is killing me!

Pamplemoo I'm pretty sure that makes you the Anti Janet.

If you make a new friend, and introduce them to your friends, and they end up stealing all your friends you've been Wendied.
